One of the benefits to being in Asia is that it is really easy and inexpensive to travel across the region. For those with location-independent jobs and few responsibilities, that’s a great opportunity to see places, experience new culture and meet people while still earning a buck or running a company.

7 months. 7 countries. Meeting tons of new people. Having amazing new experiences. All while making progress on your startup. You will need…

…drumroll…

US$9240

This will cover all your basic expenses for a month in each country such as coworking desk / wifi (and hopefully some friendly coworkers), a roof over your head and food in your belly. This doesn’t include regional travel, but with budget airlines such as Air Asia this is cheap - expect to pay less than US$100 for a one way ticket when hopping between these destinations, apart from the countries further out like China and Japan.

Jon’s spent time in each country and he does a great job of wrapping this together, with plenty of alluring photos of beaches, food and cities.

It’s worth noting that, if you choose specific locations, $10k could go further than seven months. Likewise co-working is pricier than working out of hotel Wifi, but getting out to meet people is one of the points of the original post/trip and it is fun – but don’t abuse it.
